SWEETWATER HONORABLE MENTION
Taylor Jones, Jr., Quarterback; Sam Nemir, Jr., Linebacker.
Mustangs honored
A total of six Sweetwater
High School football players
have earned all-district rec-
ogntion from District 5-3A.
B.J. Walker was the
only Mustang on the first
team. Walker, a 2io-pound
senior, was named at out-
side linebacker after record-
ing a team-high 88 tackles.
He also made the second
team as a running back after
rushing for a team-high 650
yards and nine scores. He
was also a second all-district
running back last year.
Three other seniors —
tight end Connor Stafford,
receiver Tanner Crain and
cornerback Cameron Fox —
also made the second team.
Crain and Stafford were the
team's top receivers with 23
and 14 catches, respectively,
while Fox led the team in
interceptions (3), passes
defended (8) and fumbles
forced or recovered (3).
Junior quarterbackTaylor
Jones and linebacker Sam
Nemir each received all-
district honorable mention.
Jones completed 79 of 156
passes for 988 yards and
eight touchdowns and ran
for 521 yards and five TDs,
while Nemir was second on
the team with 79 tackles,
including a team-high eight
tackles for a loss.
Eagles' win assures Cowboys of
first losing record in six seasons
ARLINGTON (AP) -
Michael Vick and the
Philadelphia Eagles could
be on track for an encore
appearance at Cowboys
Stadium in eight weeks.
The Cowboys long ago
blew their opportunity to be
the first team to play a Super
Bowl in their home stadium.
And now, after Vick and the
NFC East-leading Eagles
turned plenty of big plays
into a 30-27 victory Sunday
night, Dallas is assured its
first losing record in six sea-
sons.
"That's the way it is. That's
not good. It doesn't feel
good,"* owner Jerry Jones
said outside the Cowboys
locker room in his $1.2 bil-
lion showplace. "It makes
it very hard to think of the
good things that can hap-
pen."
For the Cowboys (4-9),
not Vick and the Eagles.
Philadelphia (9-4) has
won five of its last six games
and is a half-game ahead
of the New York Giants
(8-4) in the NFC East. New
York plays its postponed
and relocated game against
Minnesota in Detroit on
Monday night before host-
ing the Eagles next week-
end.
The clincher against the
Cowboys was Vick's short
pass to DeSean Jackson with
less than 12 minutes left that
turned into a 91-yard touch-
down — the longest career
play for both players — with
a splashy ending that drew
a penalty.
Vick also threw a 60-yard
pass to Jackson on the
first play of the game. That
was the longest this sea-
son against Dallas until
Jackson later caught a ball
near the sideline, sped past
one safety, made another
one fall and outran a diving
cornerback. He stopped at
the edge of the goal line,
turned to face the defense
and tipped over backward
into the end zone for the
tiebreaking score.
Jackson, who sprained his
ankle on the 91-yarder, had
four catches for 210 yards,
third-most in franchise his-
tory. LeSean McCoy ran 16
times for a career-high 149
yards, including a 56-yard-
er that is the longest run
against the Cowboys this
Playoff picture clear at the top
The Associated Press
The NFL's playoff pic-
ture might be muddled in
the middle. At the top, it's
crystal clear, thanks to the
Patriots and Falcons.
New England became the
first team into the postsea-
son, locking up its eighth
playoff berth in 10 years
with a 36-7 pounding of the
Chicago Bears on a snowy,
blustery, bone-chilling
Sunday at Soldier Field.
Atlanta beat Carolina
31-10, and if Minnesota de-
feats the New York Giants
tonight in a postponed game
that was moved to Detroit,
the Falcons clinch a spot.
Tom Brady threw for 369
yards and two touchdowns
in New England's fifth suc-
cessive win. The Patriots
(11-2) grabbed a 33-0 half-
time lead and gave coach
Bill Belichick his 174th
career win, putting him in a
tie for 10th place with Mike
Holmgren.
At Charlotte, Michael
Turner ran for 112 yards
and three touchdowns, Matt
Ryan threw for another and
NFC South leader Atlanta
(11-2) held onto the best
record in the conference.
Jaguars 38, Raiders 31
David Garrard threw three
touchdown passes, Maurice
Jones-Drew and Rashad
Jennings each topped 100
yards rushing.
The Jaguars overcame a
lo-point deficit to win for
the fifth time in six games,
setting up a critical AFC
South game at Indianapolis
next week.
Jacksonville (8-5) stayed
a game ahead of the Colts.
| NFL roundup |
Steelers 23, Bengals 7
Troy Polamalu and
LaMarr Woodley returned
interceptions of Carson
Palmer for touchdowns as
Cincinnati dropped a fran-
chise record 10th straight
game.
The Steelers (10-3)
couldn't get into the end
zone on offense despite
dominating time of posses-
sion — a 9V2-minute drive
produced no points — but
it didn't matter against the
Bengals (2-11).
Lions 7, Packers 3
Drew Stanton threw a
13-yard touchdown pass to
Will Heller midway through
the fourth quarter, and
Green Bay couldn't come
back without an injured
Aaron Rodgers.
Detroit (3-10) snapped
a five-game losing streak
and a 19-game skid against
the NFC North, the NFL's
worst slump within a divi-
sion since the merger four
decades ago.
Green Bay (8-5) lost
Rodgers, knocked out in the
second quarter with his sec-
ond concussion this season.
Saints 31, Rams 13
Dew Brees threw for three
scores, Malcolm Jenkins
returned one of his two
interceptions 96 yards for
his first career touchdown,
and New Orleans won its
sixth straight game.
Marques Colston had a
pair of touchdown catch-
es in traffic as the Saints
(10-3) raced to a 14-0 lead
and never trailed.

season.
Philadelphia, which lost
three times against Dallas
last season, plays its divi-
sion rival again in the regu-
lar season finale Jan. 2.
If they keep winning,
the Eagles could be back
Feb. 6 for the Super Bowl
at Cowboys Stadium, where
last January they lost on
consecutive weekends — the
2009 regular season fina-
le, then the first round of
the playoffs when Vick was
rarely on the field behind
the since-departed Donovan
McNabb.
Dallas fell behind in the
opening minutes, yet kept
it close and even led 20-14.
But Philadelphia was relent-
less, dropping the Cowboys
to 3-2 under interim coach
Jason Garrett.
Jackson's performance
helped mask an otherwise
rocky outing by Vick, whose
interceptions matched his
season total and led to
10 points for Dallas. The
Cowboys sacked him twice
and blasted him with hard
hits all night, including one
that drew a penally for a
helmet-to-helmet hit.
Smith gets all-state
honorable mention
Roscoe's Caden Smith
earned honorable men-
tion as a defensive line-
man on the Class lA all-
state high school football
team announced Sunday
by the Associated Press
Sports Editors.
Smith, a 6-3,250-pound
senior for the Plowboys,
also earned all-state hon-
orable mention from the
APSE as a junior.
